T-The gift of life is oft stolen away
H-Horrid weaponry does the affray
E-Endlessly casualties will parlay

G-Gleaming soldiers eyes gone for rest
I-In unforgiving battles so harsh of test
F-Fighting at a land's utmost behest
T-Terrible the deadly toll is to attest

O-Over and over munitions have terminated
F-Flagrantly thieving any quietude generated

L-Loved sons of kinfolk seen to weep
I-Infinite this sadness ever so deep
F-From a beautiful benefit the cost steep
E-Extinguished by war's insane keep

I evaluate my past and watch my moods swing back and forth between extremes and I write and read of poets who have felt the same melancholic sweetness of the sun’s light and the madness of the moon and I fear my story will end with the same fate as my idols; driving in and out of oblivion until my head hangs low of drunken breath and cigarettes with smoke in the air and a burn around my neck

She is an unhealthy obsession which fritters away my attention for anyone else, and whom I can only become haunted by and consumed by but never taken by.

I see everything; I am blind.
I know all; I know nothing.
I feel all; I feel nothing.
I am all; I am nothing.

I am burning desire. I am passion.
I am a bee. I am a tree's branch. I am a flower. I am a snowflake.
I am the sun. I am the moon.
I am the ocean. I am a bird.
I am air. I am fire.
I am cold.
I am alive.

Someday I'll buy you clothes of daisies and denim and embroider your name in cursive onto pink satin pillows and we'll cuddle under velvet blankets and cups of tea in sharpied mugs and I'll kiss your cheek covered by cotton candy hair and I'll tell you, "You are my sunshine."
